Travel reports and places of interest Buenos Aires

Travel report Buenos Aires

According to travel reports this city on the Rio de la Plata is one of the biggest in South America. Founded in the 16th century by Spanish conquerors, Buenos Aires only developed the national importance which still distinguishes the city today towards the end of the 18th century. The city’s culture and architecture are very strongly European, which has earned Buenos Aires the nickname of “the Paris of South America” among travel writers. A place that is especially worth seeing is the Teatro Colón, one of the most famous opera houses in the world. Buenos Aires is famous, above all, for two great passions: the tango and football, and many of its most interesting sights are closely linked to these subjects. A visit to one of the many tango competitions is highly recommended. However, a visit to a football match or at least a tour of one of the most famous and attractive football stadiums in the world, La Bombonera, is also well worthwhile.
